GreeceThe Bull of the Corcyreans was a bronze statue dedicated around 480 BC by the citizens of Corcyra (modern Corfu) at the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi, Greece. According to Pausanias, a bull in Corfu repeatedly went to the shore and moaned; when the herdsman investigated, he found the sea teeming with tuna. After consulting the Delphic Oracle and sacrificing a bull to Poseidon, the Corcyreans made an enormous catch and dedicated the statue with a tithe of the proceeds. The sculptor was Theopropus of Aegina. Only the limestone base survives, visible on the right side just past the sanctuary entrance along the Sacred Way.
